Yugoslavian SKS / Re: Long Barrel 051 Finally Made It!

Yes sir RM. Those Tiger stripe cosmoline embeded M59 LBs are something special. Those Yugos remind me of the guys that fetch those logs that have been soaking under water for decades. Same as the wooden Yugoslavian SkS stock thats been soaking in cosmoline for the past 50 years. You can emuliate but never duplicate the beauty of that look. thankyou1  M59s are the Shi* !!

051. Damn Dude !! That thing is Georgous !! Ive never seen a m59 bolt stamped serial number nor the back of the receiver. Maybe the long bbls all have it idk but thats the first time ive seen these serialized stamps where you have them.

Yup KK,

The bolts are all machine engraved as you can see the individual tool dwell swirls in this close-up.  (Relatively nicely done at that.)


They all also have the S/N stamped at the rear of the receiver.  Very distinct feature there:

Great looking long barrel. I think you should take some photos so we can evaluate it better, however.  rofl2 rofl2

Really nice rifle. I have #039.

Fantastic! Thanks for all the great pictures. Beautiful figure in that wood.

I don’t recall seeing that marking on the bolt carrier and right side of the bolt before, but I suspect that it’s a variation on the “T” Yugoslavian firing proof.

Yeah I agree with P32.  Get that rattle can job off that stock as soon as you can.  That carbine is going to look amazing when you are all done I suspect.

Good luck on the kit (and oil bottle) and sling, they truly are a tough find nowadays.

As noted in the Auction section, it took a bit to arrive (USPS issues), but all's well that ends well. This one had been held by Southern Ohio Gun for a bit and recently surfaced. Note the odd marking on the top of the bolt carrier; has anyone seen this before? It also has one of the (early?) dual-threaded cleaning rods, sort of like WWII K98K rods. Enjoy!
